I have been more and more convinced,
the more think of it, that, in general, pride is
at the bottom of all great mistakes. All the
other passions do occasional good but, when
ever pride puts In its word, everything goes
wrong; and what it might really be desirable
to do, quietly and innOcently, it is mortally
dangerous to do proudly.-Ruskin.

There Is no less technical way Of stating

seemingly indisputable evidence against
her victim. Innocent meu pay black
mail the most readily. The man of loose
morals often proves hopeless case to
the would be blackmailer. He laughs her
to scorn and threatens to kick her out
of his office if she does not leave
at once. She leaves. One Of the most
barefaced cases of Matchmaking that l
ever heard of was that of Wall street
broker, who received note apparently
in the handwriting of business associate,
to call on him at his room in one of the
most fashionable hotels of New York.
He entered the room, and the door was at
once closed and locked by man of stall
wart build, compared to whom the broker
was as pigmy to Titan. A woman in
deshebille stood a few feet off. "This
will cost you $15,OOO," remarked, the
swindler coolly. The stock operator, who
moved in good society, surrendered at
once. He had $4,000 with him, and wrote
check for $4,000. Then he left. He
paid the check. After the door closes on
a man and woman alone it is In the power
of the woman to make any assertion
which she pleases; society is ready to be-
lieve the worst, and thus the blackmailer

A Good Word for JEFF Davis.

Since the fall of the Southern Con-
federacy its chieftain, Jefferson Davis,
has made many speeches, all showing an
irreconcilable tone and belief that "the
lost cause" was not wholly lost
Yesterday Mr.. Davis took new track,
showing that at last he, too, has trimmed
his sails to the favoring breezes which are
waiting the American ship of State on to
power and glory.
Omitted you are now, and if the Union
is ever to be broken, let it be done by the
other side," he says 1t is almost irnpos-
s;ble to believe that these are the words
of Jefferson Davis; but if he said them,
they atone for much that he has said and
done in the past They present him in a
new light, no longer as "unregenerate
and unrepentant," but as believer in the
doctrines of sfthe new South"
These words of Mr.. Davis mark an
epoch in American history. If he, the
inspirer and leader of rebellion, can say
Oct the other side break the Unien," then
is rebellion's last throe ended, and it is
time to barry the bloody shirt forever.
The strengthof mind, the mental cour-
age required to enable jeff
erson Davis to say to his people, 'the
truth we fought for shall not encourage
you ever to fight again." demand cordial
recognition. For the first time in nearly
thirty years the North can well afford to
put aside resentment and to join the
South in praise of Jefferson Davis.

A Large City.
E,yopE d Ctoot-top in Tuna ST Nicholas

Frank R. Stockton in June st. Nicholas.
If any one were to welk one way
through all the streets of London. he
would be obliged to go distance of 26OO
miles, or as far as it is across the Ameri-
can continent from New York to San
Francisco. This will give an idea of
what would have to be done in order to
see even the greater part of London.
In our approach to this city, as we'll as
our rambles through its streets, we shall
not be struck SO much by its splendid
and imposing appearance as by its i'm
mensity. Go where we may, there seems
to be no end to the town. 1t is Ii miles
one way and eight the other and contains
population of nearly 100000 people,
which is greater indeed, than that of
Switzerland or the kingdoms of Denmark
and Greece combined. We are told on
good authority that there are moro
Scotchmen in London than in Edinburgh,
more Irishmen than in Dublin and more
Jews than in Palestine, with foreigners
from all parts of the world, including a
great number of Americans. Yet there
are so many Englishmen In LONDON that
one is not likely to notice the presence
of these people of other nations.
The vast body OF c1t1Zens, some SO rich
that they never can count their money
and some so poor that they never have
any to count, eat every year 100000 oxen
100000 sheep, 100000 chickens and
game birds, not to speak of calves, hogs
and kifferent kinds of fish. They con
sumo 500O0O,OOO oysters, which, although
it seems like large number, would only
give, if equally divided among all the
people, one oyster every third day to
each person. There are 100000 servants
in London, enough people to make g
large city; but as this gives only one SER
want to each dozen citizens, it is quite
evident that q great many of the people
must wait on themselves. Things are
very unevenally divided in London; and
have no doubt that instead of there being
one servant to dozen persons, some OF
the rich lords and ladies have II servants
apiece.

Temptations of a Brokers Lire.
st. Nicholas.

From the start the boy entering bro
ker's Office will be intrusted with large
sums of money to carry to the bank or to
customers. He may be in an Office where
bank bills and shining gold are within
his reach all the time; and he will be SO
completely absorbed in the subject of
stocks, bonds and money that it will be
somewhat strange it he does not soon
begin to look at the getting of money as
the most important business of life, And
when he is a little older and becomes
clerk or cashier he will be exposed to the
temtation to increase his income 10y stock
gambling -"spec0lating." as it is called
on his own account. Such ventures are
of course very hazardous, and on all &C.
counts should be Stunned. 4 broker re-
quires great strength of character to re-
sist the temptation to get wealthy by
false methods; and a boy should think
long and well before he adopts the cell
ing
For the brokers' business is at best sIn-
stable. The work is done quickly In the
midst of great excitement and at '&high
PRESSURE" as we say. AS money comes
quickly and easily to the broker, it rs not
Sc highly prized as if It were earned by
the toll which produces visible result,
and it usEaly goes as easily as it comes.
| Brokers of course defend their own oc-
eupation, They will tell you thst their
services as agents in securing stocks and
bonds ere needed;'bIt they will rot deny
that stock brokerage would cease to be a
profitable business except to avery few

/ in securities. OF course there are many
men liz this business who have risen to
wealth and to eminence as finaaciers, who

Their word to one another is1as good as a

business transacted upon the exchange is
done without written contract, and de-
pends solely upen the good faith of the
members concerned. Their promptness
to respond on pablo appeals for aid is
proNer5ial. Yet all this should have no

whether Or no he shall be q broker.

An English View Of Royalty.
London Standard.

1t mey be said, however, with perfect
confidence that IS the monarchy ever be-
comes unpopular in this country it will be
the rulers own fault. The people want
nc change. They are perfectly well sat
listed with a constitution which gives
them all the romance of HEREDITARY SOW
erignty combined with all the practical
advantages of parliamentary government.
The English people know very well that
from NO sovereign of the illustrieus house
which sits apon the throne of these rea-
Inns are they ever likely to have anything
to fear. They know also that the duties
of royalty are at the same time real and
onerous: and that an English King or
Queen cen perform services to the coun
try, and exercise a species of authority
which we shoald expect in vain from an
elective chief magistrate. Our constitu-
tional are neither absolute or impotent
Within certain understood limits they
WELD power which is often benifeent,
and is almost incapable of being abused
Even the most unedueaSeG classes in the
country understand something of tho
truth. They know that the existence OF
ths monarchy is a check upon those per-
sonal rJvalries and antagonisms which
too frequently distract republics, and
that is able to hold at arms length both
the oligarchy and the democracy.

Hawley and Fairchild.
Syracuse Standard.

Senator Joseph r. Hawley got the basis
OF his Learning at the Cazenovia Saunin-
airy thirty or forty years ago. About
that time Charles 6. Fairchild, the pce-
sent Secretary of the Treasury, was rug
ming around the village in smock frocks
the terror Of his nurse, for they say that
the Cabinet minister was an unconsciOn-
able scamp In the period of his adde's
Gems e. More times than he has years to
his age was he 6shed out of the margin
of the lake as wet as a dcowned rat. and
hardly less susceptible to the pressure of
moral suasion. a very cid resident of
the village tells re that it would have
been another successor whom Daniel
Manning would have had in the Treasury
Department had it not happened that
Joe Hawley, one of the gayest cOots
among the students of his time. was beau
ing a pretty miss along the lake shore in
skif one summers afternoon, when
baby Fairchild, toddling to the water side
fell ia. The very old resident, who re-
members rebuking the nurse for her
carelessness, wonders if the Senator re-
calls his rescue of the secretary. The re-
miniscence is just now unusually apt, as
the meeting OF the two men has been
described as particularly cordial on &C
count of their being able to date their
boyhood from the classic shades of
OF Cazenovia. Under the circumstances
they might have rushed into each Others
arms like two brothers. All trace of the
identity of the pretty girl has been lost.
The very old resident of CaZenOvia said
her name. if he ever knew it, escaped him
long, long ago. She would be valuable
witness just now, for it is remembered
that she soiled her crisp muslin dress in
